| - This place is certainly not my library of choice. For one thing, it's nowhere near my house. For another, it's just far from being the nicest library in town. However, there are definitely reasons to patronize this location.
January has been declared mob month. Every Tuesday, the Clark County Library is hosting a different mob-related talk session. Last week, it was interesting and entertaining to listen to Denny Griffin, the author of The Battle for Las Vegas: The Law vs The Mob. I recently read this book for the Yelp Book Club, so it was a great session to attend. With him on stage was Andrew DiDonato, a former mob member, and Dennis Arnoldy, a former FBI agent who was involved in taking down Anthony Spilotro in the 70s. It was interesting seeing the contrast between DiDonato and Arnoldy.
I've also been to this library for other events in the same amphitheater. So I guess as a library, it's pretty run-of-the-mill, but being the "Clark County Library," its status is elevated by the fantastic special events it hosts. I recommend checking their schedule. You might find something that interests you.
